President Donald Trump reignited America’s on-again, off-again trade war with Canada on Thursday in a catty letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney.
Trump threatened to impose a 35 percent tariff on Canadian goods beginning Aug. 1 unless Canada decides to build or manufacture its products in the U.S. The letter to Carney was part of the administration’s fresh blitz to secure trade deals after postponing the original July 9 deadline to reinstate the tariffs first announced in April.
“It is a Great Honor for me to send you this letter in that it demonstrates the strength and commitment of our Trading Relationship,” Trump began, foreshadowing a string of bizarre capitalization choices that would appear throughout his letter.
